H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925) is best known as the successful writer
of adventure stories with exotic backgrounds such as King Solomon's
Mines and She. However, he also served on a number of royal
commissions, and in managing his wife's Norfolk estate became a
recognised expert on agricultural matters. Rural England, published
in 1902 and reissued in 1906, was the product of his travels around
England and Wales writing articles for the Daily Express. They show
a picture of agriculture in poor condition, and suggest reforms
which would improve matters. The book was well received, and
subsequently many of his suggestions were included in the
Development Act of 1909. He favoured co-operative societies such as
were found in Denmark, an increase in the number of smallholdings,
and a national forestry commission. Volume 1 discusses conditions
in a large part of the south and west of England, and the Channel
Islands.
